hollywood: *casts daniel brühl as a nazi*
literally everyone on the planet: groundbreaking 🙄

Sad people being sad in the sad state of Nazi Germany purely for cinematic sadness' sake.

Alone in Berlin is a War drama based on the 1947 Novel Every man dies alone ( I have not yet read). Anna and Otto, a German couple living during the Second World War loose their only son in action. Soon they turn anti - Nazi and start to write postcards to urge people to protest against Hitler….. 
The Stars of the film are Emma Thompson and Brendon Gleason who in my opinion give an immaculate performance. Done with elegance and grace both characters portray the grieving parents and a still very much tight bond between the couple 
This movie deserves a lot more respect than some of it’s reviews although it’s not for everyone being a period Nazi film I believe it’s been very well executed and has a certain class around it…… 
So many more people must watch this……….
Warning you may need your tissues at the ready…… 

pls someone tell me where does daniel brühl lives so i can go and beg him to stop accepting all these nazi roles

Alone in Berlin is a book that should have been adapted into a German mini-series featuring German-speaking actors, rather than a 100-minute feature film with English speaking actors. I have not read the book, but I remember my father reading it and liking it. I was considering it, but 688 pages seemed far too long for me at the time. It is evident that so much of the story gets lost in the film. The characters are sloppily introduced and the straightforward story is actually confusing at times.

The cast did great, but the director did not. It was an awful decision to let Vincent Perez, an actor with little directing experience, make this film. At least he should have read the book... This is a great example of a powerful story that loses all of its strength in film form.

37/100

Breendan Gleeson's fucking hot and you can quote me on that

Afterthoughts: The Second World War truly is one of the most fascinating times in human history. With so many people involved and affected, you will never stop learning something new about it.

Alone in Berlin is a very understated piece. Not a great film, but intriguing, thought-provoking and convincing from start to finish. Brendan Gleeson in a lead role is not a common occurrence, so it’s always refreshing to see a film in which he is the main character.

I was also pleasantly surprised to spot Jànos from Werckmeister Harmonies (Lars Rudolph) in a minor role.

Certainly recommended to all who have an interest in all aspects of the most significant event/period in modern history.

Free Press.

Reader, pass this on.

Why fight and die for the Hitler plutocrats!

All reasonable Germans work to eliminate the Hitler war machine! Stop the further slaughter of fathers and sons! Work slow, produce few children!
